Who votes for the office of president-elect in HOSA?

The office of president-elect in HOSA is elected by secondary and post-secondary collegiate (PSC) voting delegates. This process is designed to ensure that those who have a substantial understanding and stake in the organization's direction—representing different chapters across various educational levels—have a say in selecting their leader.

Secondary and post-secondary voting delegates typically hold the responsibility of representing their respective chapters during elections, allowing them to express the collective choice of their peers in a structured format. This mechanism not only enhances democratic participation but also promotes leadership stability by engaging individuals who are actively involved in HOSA activities.

In contrast, other members such as all members of HOSA, only chapter presidents, or only alumni do not get to participate directly in the voting process for this specific office, as the president-elect's responsibilities require input from those currently engaged with the organization at the active chapter level.
